This rout increases the depth under the back end of the bridge only, allowing a greater range of motion when pulling up on the bar. It does not encompass the entire tremolo unit, or allow it to be recessed into the body. The tremolo unit must be set up at the normal height.

Bridge mounts on two studs. Warmoth can install the bridge studs for just $10.00.

2-1/8" (54mm) string span.

Drilled for .382" (10mm) diameter insert.

Rout not available on Tele® Deluxe bodies. Studs interfere with pickguard.

All the above tremolo bridge routs come with the same tremolo spring cavity rout in the back of the guitar.

Jazzmaster Bridge Rout

Kahler Tremolo Bridge Rout

The Kahler tremolo bridge does not require a tremolo cavity rout from the back. Warmoth does not sell this bridge though we can rout for it by special order.

Kahler Flat Mount tremolo

We do not drill the mounting holes.

Rout not available on Tele® Deluxe bodies. Rout interferes with pickguard.

The mounting holes are identical to the vintage flat mount bridge, but the string through holes are drilled larger.

Vintage-Style Tele®

This pattern fits the three vintage-style Tele® bridges that Warmoth sells, as well as the modern-style standard and humbucker Tele® bridges we sell. It will also fit most other vintage-style "ash tray" Tele® bridges, but as always: you must measure to be sure.
